That may be even more important to you. Now you can play your favorite mobile games with a mouse and keyboard on your PC.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Android games have been available on Windows PCs. The BlueStacks emulator has made this possible for a while, but it came with some big trade-offs in performance. Windows 11 enables Android apps and games to run natively, which is a far better solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Here&#8217;s How Android Apps Work on Windows 11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Youll_Need\"><\/span>What You\u2019ll Need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of early November 2021, running Android apps and games in Windows 11 is in beta. There are a handful of things you\u2019ll need in order to start gaming.<br \/>\n As of early November 2021, the biggest catch is you\u2019ll need to be on the Windows Insider Beta channel, build 22000.282 or higher. Here\u2019s how you can switch between channels\u2014but beware, the beta channel isn\u2019t completely stable and we don\u2019t recommend it for your primary PC.<br \/>\nThe second thing you need is hardware virtualization enabled. Windows 11 essentially runs Android in a virtual machine, which is why this is critical. You can check if your PC has virtualization enabled by going to the \u201cPerformance\u201d tab in the Task Manager. (You can press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.)<\/p>\n<p>If hardware virtualization isn\u2019t enabled on your PC, you will likely need to enable Intel VT-X in your computer\u2019s UEFI firmware (BIOS). If your system has an AMD chip instead, look for AMD-V in the UEFI firmware settings screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-764104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021-10-25_16-28-16-e1635194023950.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Task Manager virtualization.\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, take a peek and make sure you have the latest version of the Microsoft Store. Open the Microsoft Store and update all the apps on the \u201cLibrary\u201d page. You need\u00a0Microsoft Store version 22110.1402.6.0.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have all of these things squared away, you\u2019re ready to proceed! It\u2019s a good idea to reboot your PC before we go any further.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Install_Android_Games_in_Windows_11\"><\/span>How to Install Android Games in Windows 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, we\u2019ll head into the Microsoft Store.
